Lake Léman
Inspired by a photo taken by a friend of mine, in Switzerland, I just wanted to make a try to paint a boat.
I failed to reproduce the vibrancy of the original photo and the bird flying on the edge of the mountain wasn't a good choice, as well, but...
Please comment.

Very well painted Antonella, the boat must definitely stay,as it is holds the picture together, and is beautifully painted. Boats are not easy subjects. I agree with Paul and Jon, the boat and the bird present a conflict of interest. I would remove the bird altogether, as if it was moved to the rock on the right it would be too close to the edge, and possible compete with the boat even more. Maybe I'm being a bit picky, but the background bird on the right coincides with the point where the hill meets the sky, and is slightly confusing.
But nonetheless, a great piece of work ( and I'm very jealous of your boat!😄).
